They were absolutely amazing and the food was wonderful. We will use them again for sure!!

Prerana was awesome. Very nice, considerate and attentive. The food was fabulous and she left the kitchen cleaner than when she got here. But most importantly, the food. Her very creative combinations of ingredients were new to us, and it was crazy how she brought all of the flavors together perfectly. Her experience with the foods of many cultures around the world really shone through in her cooking. I would highly recommend her and will remember and cherish this experience forever.

Première expérience de chef à domicile, pour un repas de 2 personnes et expérience très concluante. Nous avons passé un très bon moment autour du repas organisé par la chef Prerana. Le menu indien est délicat et recherché, nous avons découvert de nouvelles saveurs.

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday with an unforgettable Indian culinary experience curated by the incredibly talented Chef Prerana. From start to finish, the evening was an absolute delight for the senses, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service and delectable dishes provided. Chef Prerana effortlessly catered to a party of 11 people at my home, showcasing her culinary prowess with finesse and creativity. The diverse menu she crafted left everyone in awe, featuring a delightful assortment of flavors and textures that truly elevated the dining experience. The journey began with a tantalizing pastry that set the tone for the evening, followed by a fish dish expertly cooked. The lamb dish that followed was a testament to Chef Prerana's culinary expertise, as the meat was succulent and infused with a harmonious medley of spices (accompanied by amazing homemade bread). The depth of flavor in every bite was a true testament to her dedication to the art of Indian cuisine. To cap off this culinary journey, Chef Prerana treated us to a refreshing sorbet that cleansed the palate, preparing us for the grand finale - a birthday cake that was nothing short of a masterpiece. Not only was it visually stunning, but the taste was a revelation, leaving us in awe of Chef Prerana's baking skills. Beyond her culinary talents, Chef Prerana's kindness and easygoing nature made the entire experience seamless. Coordinating with her was a breeze, and her genuine passion for creating memorable dining experiences shone through every dish. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Prerana for any culinary event. Her artistry in the kitchen, coupled with her warm personality, turned my birthday celebration into an extraordinary culinary journey that will be cherished for years to come. Thank you, Chef Prerana, for making my special day truly exceptional!
